Fig. 1 Recovery of mechanical function during reperfusion expressed as a percentage of end-equilibration left ventricular DP. Asterisk indicates p < versus control. Note improvement afforded by CoQ10 pretreatment. The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery , DOI: ( /S (96) ) Copyright © 1996 Mosby, Inc. Terms and Conditions

Fig. 2 DP/MVo2 during equilibration and at end-reperfusion. During reperfusion CoQ10 hearts maintained their preischemic efficiency, in contrast to control hearts. Asterisk indicates p < 0.05 versus CoQ10 group at reperfusion and vs both groups at equilibration. V, Ventricle.

Fig. 3 Myocardial CK activity at end-equilibration and at end-reperfusion. Hearts pretreated with CoQ10 maintained greater CK activity than did control hearts. Asterisk indicates p < 0.05 versus control at reperfusion. V, Ventricle. The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery , DOI: ( /S (96) ) Copyright © 1996 Mosby, Inc. Terms and Conditions

Fig. 4 Phosphocreatine (PCr) levels during equilibration (EQ) and during reperfusion (RP). CoQ10 hearts showed higher levels during both equilibration and reperfusion. Asterisk indicates p < versus control. Horizontal axis indicates time in minutes. The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery , DOI: ( /S (96) ) Copyright © 1996 Mosby, Inc.

Fig. 5 ATP levels during equilibration (EQ) and during reperfusion (RP). CoQ10 hearts showed higher levels during both equilibration and reperfusion. Asterisk indicates p < 0.05 versus control.
